Dembele quietens the whistle with a golazo and two assists

The Barcelona forward came off the bench and did well against Athletic Club

There's a division of opinions at Camp Nou regarding Ousmane Dembele. On Sunday against Athletic Club, the Barcelona forward was whistled when he came on in the second half.

The first time the Frenchman touched the ball, there was a mix of whistles and applause. But it didn't take long for things to change from there.

Mainly due to his goal. Frenkie de Jong opened the play up on the left and Dembele did what he knows best: driving into the box and hammering him.

In the celebration that followed, he went to the bench to hug Gavi and the rest of the team joined them. The celebration ended with Barça coach Xavi Hernandez giving him a hug, too.

But Dembele didn't stop there. He remained a threat and set up goals for Luuk de Jong and Memphis Depay as Barça ran out 4-0 winners in the end, Dembele turning whistles to applause.
